Manitowoc Crane CARE launched its E-training program for Chinese customers at
this year’s bauma China exhibition, November 21 – 24 in Shanghai. The training
program made its Chinese debut on the Manitowoc Crane Group booth (B08 in the
Outside Area).
The program comprises two types of training: Basic
e-training and product specific e-training. The training courses are accessed
via the Internet, allowing students to complete course work at their own pace
and convenience.
Jack Lee, general manager of Manitowoc Crane CARE in
Asia-Pacific, said the courses offer time and cost saving advantages.
“Training
online is a low cost option as it saves on hotel and travel expenses which are
incurred traveling to a dedicated training center,” he said. “It also means
less time out of the office and more flexibility as courses fit around
individual’s schedules. The Basic e-training offers an excellent introduction
for newcomers – or a ‘refresher’ course for more experienced personnel –
particularly when used ahead of our more intensive, training-center based
courses. The Product Specific e-training goes into greater detail and focuses
on a wider range of competency levels.”
The Basic e-training
program explains the fundamentals of lifting equipment over a 15-hour class.
Students have 90 days to complete the course after registering on-line. Each
topic segment ends with a quiz to test student knowledge and reinforce key
points. Upon completion of the course, students pass through an assessment
process before final certification.
The Product Specific e-training
focuses on Grove mobile cranes, Manitowoc crawler cranes or Potain tower
cranes. Students enrolling for these courses must first take a
pre-registration test before joining a beginner, intermediate or an advanced
course. The courses feature numerous animations and graphical tools designed
to aid learning. Case studies relating to real life job sites allow a better
understanding of the practical implications of the course work.
Prospective
students may register by visiting CraneCARE
